Whole sector shrinking, should I change fields? - 20 weeks in

    Many of the people I know in my field were laid off this year, including me as a welding apprentice. It has been a long 20 weeks. I am open to a pay cut if the field is stable. How did you choose?

    A short certificate helped me more than a new degree would have. Check what local colleges offer.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 7 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
